First off, the other day something described as a “tweeker,” punched out the painted glass in our super-secret side-entry door. And today brought this strange bulge in the sidewalk, which is cracking and chipping the bricks who try to keep it at bay. City workers were by to have a look, and apparently told Lindy West: “We don’t know what it is. No one knows.” The sky has grown dark and ominous. The maintenance man who was allegedly working on our window is nowhere to be found, and the city workers have scattered, leaving us with nothing but a flimsy barricade and some yellow caution tape:
- They’re not staying down there anymore.
See more information on C.H.U.D.s and opening the Gate after the cut:
Pretty sure it’s either C.H.U.D.:
Or that our heathen ways have opened the Gate:
Um, considering how many of you I’ve seen come out of that door over the years, I for one would hardly classify it as “super secret”.
And, I think your problem may be much more serious than you imagine. Much, much more serious.
It’s alright, it’s just the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. How much harm could he do?
You’re all so wrong it’s painful.
(NOTE: Days like this I truly wish slog allowed the use of img tags in replies. WHY NOT GUYS)
War of the worlds
@3 – If you were here the one day we did allow img tags in comments, you’d know why.
There were CHUDs recently reported on Bainbridge Island…
You guys should stop being so hard on Shannen Doherty. She can’t help it if her eyes aren’t symmetrical!
The bulge looks kind of like a leaky pipe, but who knows.
Definitely Graboids.
CHUDs are nothing. The first image on this page:

is what haunts my nightmares – and I think you’ve got the start of one there on the sidewalk. I’d work from home for the next few days.
